Frantic to Earn CPEs by Year End? Here Are Some Tips!

As we are approaching the end of the ISACA year, many of you are still looking to complete your Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits.

How Many CPEs Do You Need?

If you are unsure how many CPEs you need, log in at www.ISACA.org. Your Track MyStatus page will appear with the CPE hours remaining for the current year and CPE hours remaining for the three-year cycle. You are required to complete 20 CPEs each year with a total of 120 CPEs for each three-year cycle.

What CPEs Are Available in 2017?

CPEs need to be completed by December 31. Here are opportunities to earn CPEs through ISACA Greater Washington, D. C. (GWDC):

For a nominal fee, GWDC has a one-day monthly conference on Thursday, December 7 on Cloud Security. Please look for details on our website, ISACA-GWDC.org.

Participate in our BrightTALK™ webinar, “Stopping the Hack,” on November 16th at 4:00 ET. If you can’t join us for that session, subscribe to our BrightTALK™ channel and have a look at the archived webinars. Any CPEs earned through BrightTALK™, you must manually record and self-report.*

Serve as an ISACA volunteer in Communications, Marketing, Membership, Outreach and other areas. There is a lot of work we would like to do this year, and we need your help. There are also opportunities to volunteer at our December Conference and help with set-up, registrations, or photography, for example. If you are interested in this work, please look at the Volunteer page on the ISACA GWDC website.

Other cybersecurity, IT audit or similar opportunities where you could earn CPEs include:

How to Report Your CPEs

You should always make sure you are compliant with the ISACA requirements to maintain your certification. The details for each of the certifications can be found here. ISACA provides instructions on how to report CPEs.

* For the self-reported CPEs, you should maintain a CPE certificate or the documentation of the name of the sponsoring organization, activity title, activity description, activity date, and the number of CPE hours awarded or claimed.

Questions

Please look at the FAQs to see if your question is answered. If you still need assistance, please e-mail the Chapter, providing your ISACA Membership number. If you don’t have your member number readily available, e-mail us with your full name and a telephone contact number.

Thank you!
